Connecting to Consoles and PCs
The Quadstick can be used with the PS3, PS4, XBox One, XBox 360, Wii, Wii U, Switch, PC &
Mac. A USB protocol converter is required or recommended for some game consoles. The
Quadstick can connect directly to the PS3, PS4, PC/Mac and Nintendo Switch. A USB
converter will be needed for the Xbox One/360, Wii or Wii U consoles.
PS4
There are several ways to connect the Quadstick to
the PS4. Each has advantages and limitations that
need to be understood in order to chose the best
method for your situation. For most users that use
the Quadstick without any secondary input devices,
the Quadstick can be connected directly connect to
the PS4 and configured to “boot in PS4 mode”. To
eliminate a brief interruption in the connection every
seven minutes, connect the Dual Shock 4 (DS4) controller that came with the console to the
USB A connector on the back of the Quadstick. Leave the DS4 turned off. Turn on the PS4
from the front panel, not from the DS4.
Without the DS4 connected to the USB A port, the USB emulation mode 4 (PS4) will work in
manner similar to the CronusMax – Partial Crossover Support. Approximately every seven
minutes the USB connection between the Quadstick and the console is interrupted for less than
half a second to reset the timer in the console that enforces the authentication timeout. This
works with many games, but some games will be stopped when the interruption occurs.
The emulation mode can be set in either an individual game profile or in the prefs.csv file (by
turning on Enable boot in PS4 USB mode in the QMP.
